9268. And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress. That this signifies that those who long to be instructed in the truths of the church must not be infested with evils of life, is evident from the signification of "a sojourner," as being one who longs to be instructed in the truths of the church (see n. 8007, 8013, 9196); and from the signification of "oppressing," as being to infest with evils of life (n. 9196).
